Several seriously talented players in that Brentford side. Will be interesting to see whether they sell as usual in the window or really go hard for promotion.

Very impressed with Brentford but if Gibbs n Grady had been playing i dont think they would have had so much possession especially 1st half .Could have gone either way so l was happy with a point .

Brentford were very good, but we were poor, gifted them possession several times. How good was Benrahma, Mbeumo and Watkins?? Benrahma was outstanding.

I thought Brentford were the best side we've played this season

Very impressed with Brentford... their movement is excellent, and they’re very well organised. They dealt with our threats comfortably first half and there were spells where I was convinced they had 12 men on...

Their weakness is that they seemed to lack ideas and also belief they could win the game, and accepted a point instead of pushing on, but certainly the best side we’ve played this season.

We were poor for the third game in succession, but got something. We really have stuttered since thumping Swansea and Bristol, yet have picked up 5 points from 3 games.

Fair comment on Brentford.  SW probably best team I have seen this season

We looked a bit lethargic at times, we could do with a couple in during January to cope with injuries/loss of form.

We definitely need freshening up.

If we do no business in Jan I think we’ll be Ok as we’re grinding out points, but someone like Bowen would really lift us.

Still surprised neither Zohore, Tulloch nor Willock were on the bench today.

Not sure I agree on SW Manc... thought they were aggressive and functional but lacked the quality Brentford had.

Over the course of 46 Champ games there’d probably not be much between them (and it looks like that’ll be the case), but I’d sooner watch Brentford for 46 games than SW... and I know which of the two I’d feel more confident against in the playoffs!

Brentford better than SW. Lovely work on and off the ball and very well organised with it.

Hard to say we were poor today. Up against a very good side and missing Diangana. A few of our tricks didn't come off today, Phillips for one should have scored.

Both teams have progressed hugely from last season, despite the matching result.

Thought we were very flat today, we don't seem to have that "zip" we had earlier, our passing was poor and sloppy and we looked knackered tbh, Brentford by far the best side up here so far this season and more or less dominated the 1st half BUT we rode out the storm picked up another point and another game unbeaten, onto the next game.
